Maresca Drops Key Players from Chelsea's Champions League Squad

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca omitted key players, including Raheem Sterling and Facundo Buonanotte, from the Champions League squad for the league phase. Despite recent signings like Willian Estevao and Alejandro Garnacho, notable names like Sterling were left out.

The squad submitted for the competition includes four players, namely Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, and Levi Colwill. Maresca's decision to exclude certain high-profile players has raised eyebrows among fans and pundits.

Chelsea is set to face tough opponents like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Napoli in the Champions League campaign. The exclusion of top earners and new signings indicates Maresca's strategic approach to the competition.
